Roemheld offers fixed-jaw vice for five-axis apps

Roemheld has launched a fixed-jaw vice designed to offer a fast return on investment for five-axis applications across a range of industries.

The KC100 system offers a universal clamping solution for five-axis machines and pallet systems, and enables sixth-side machining with minimum setup costs.

As well as allowing for optimum positioning of the component on the table and reducing tooling costs, the vice reduces material wastage due to its ability to grip on 3mm with a clamping force of up to 25kN.

The compact design of the KC100 also ensures all-round accessibility and collision-free workpiece pathways.

The all-steel construction makes it sturdy and robust enough for the heaviest milling operations.

The KC100 has a 100mm jaw width and clamping capacity of between 6 and 204mm.

It has been designed to offer a flexible system that is suitable for raw parts and finished component clamping, as the jaw inserts can simply be changed from serrated to smooth.

Roemheld offers solutions for a wide range of applications across a wide range of industries including automotive, aerospace, medical, plastics and rubber, food and packaging. Roemheld is also a supplier to some of the UK’s key fixture builders.
